Toner Mask , a Cheaper Alternative to Facial Mask

Here's my recent low-cost, effective skin care hack —TONER MASK — amidst global recession as COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis escalates.

After I cleanse and tone my skin, I soak SILCOT Uru Uru Cotton Puff with my favorite toner/lotion and apply on cheeks and forehead (or any specific areas where it's needed) for 5 minutes or longer if the pad is still wet. I use this brand of cotton puff from Japan because it's good for DIY face pack as it's amazingly moist with 50% less toner usage.

After toner masking, I follow up with my usual skincare routine, which is my all-time favourite moisturizer, Blackmores Vitamin E Cream, which is highly raved as a natural source of nutrients for healthy skin and suitable for dry skin especially in cold climates.

When I need to hydrate, brighten and calm my dry and irritated skin, I use Rovectin Activating Treatment Lotion. It's great for sensitive and dehydrated skin as well as combination and oily skin. It's also highly recommended by Director Pi (a Korean beauty editor) in one or two of her YouTube videos.

For minimising pores and brightening skin tone, I use Labo Labo Super-Keana Lotion. This Japanese brand is extremely good for oily skin with pimples and enlarged pores, with a cooling sensation and whitening effect (since it's filled with vitamin C).
